#EUPrivacyCoinBan to is a hashtag referring to the planned ban on so-called "privacy coins" in the European Union – cryptocurrencies focusing on complete transaction anonymity, such as Monero, Zcash, or Dash. The EU aims to limit their use under anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. The ban would concern the use of these currencies on exchanges and financial services operating within the EU. Critics argue that this infringes on citizens' privacy and hinders the development of blockchain technology. Supporters believe it will help fight against terrorism financing and crime.
